Important
news The New Zealand Government now
applies special legal constraints to companies where an owner
is related to someone with a disability. These recently applied
rules automatically place companies in a situation similar to
administration (restrictions against assets, stock, investment,
management decision making, also special audit requirements).
Please accept this applies across the board, it is the law, and
has nothing to do with the company or me specifically. These
laws were developed, held and applied in secret, to arm the state
with legal powers based on discrimination, deception and corruption
(and that is just the tip of an iceberg). The company cannot
challenge this. It is however currently permitted (possibly even
required) to operate in a limited capacity as a supplier of my
consulting services - so despite how bad all this may sound,
please accept that it is mostly "business as usual"
for my contracting clients and I remain committed to the job.
The company has simply been caught in the crossfire of a political
agenda that has obviously gone horribly out of control. After
the changes were applied in 2015 (secretly and without warning),
I have been proactive in managing risks with my clients, however
as a qualified professional I really do need to advertise this
situation up-front. It's also time somebody did something about
this nonsense, so being left with no other practical option,
I am speaking up about it now. (11 May 2017)
